-Panels that support wireless zones require a wirelessreceiver to pick up the signals and send them to thecontrol panel for processing (some control panels have areceiver built in, others will require you to add one)

Zone Response Types

•Perimeter, entry/exit

-Normally the exterior

Doors, windows, glass break detectors, etc.

•Interior

-Space protection that may be bypassed as a group whenusers wish to arm the system but stay in the premise

Motion detectors, glass break detectors, etc.

•Fire

-24 hour

Smoke or Heat detector

•24 Hour

-Silent or Audible

Panic button, hold up button, medical button, etc.

Zone Conditions

•Fault

-Fault occurs when a zone changes state from its normalnon-violated position (i.e. a normally closed contact opens–

for example a door or window is opened)

-An indication of the faulted zone will be displayed /annunciated on the control panel keypad

•

Alarm

-Alarm occurs when a fault happens on 24 hour zone orwhen the control panel is armed and the fault takes placeon a burglary zone

-Any flow of water from a sprinkler system equal to orgreater than that from a single automatic sprinkler headwill result in activation of this switch and subsequentlyindicate an alarm condition

Power Calculation

It is vital on any installation to ensure that device power needs donot exceed the available panel power output. Your panel is ratedto provide a set amount of current on the auxiliary power output.You MUST add up the current draw of all devices you plan toattach to this output–

this number shouldnever

exceed themaximum output. If maximum output is exceeded you will needto add a power supply, like the Ademco AD12612.
